Mini Escape to Colorado

I few weeks ago I headed out west to Colorado for a family wedding. After the wedding we headed up to to explore Red Rocks and do a little hiking. The next day we took a day trip to the lovely Vail Village and Mountain. Even though my head was a bit cloudy from the altitude, I manage to get a few photos that captured the beauty of this amazing state. Historically landscapes aren't my favorite to shoot, but hanging around the Rocky Mountains for the first time may have changed that for me forever. Enjoy a few of my favorite snaps below!
